libgdx how to get image to take up the whole screen?

Question

I have this image(https://i.stack.imgur.com/ucafS.jpg) and am trying to make it take up the whole screen. Heres my code

static Texture img;
static Sprite sprite;
public static void load(){

    img = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("menu/stick.PNG"));
    //libgdx scales it , it wont mess up
    img.setFilter(TextureFilter.Linear, TextureFilter.Linear);

    sprite = new Sprite(img);
    sprite.flip(false, true);
    sprite.setSize(Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
}

The output still doesnt show the stick figure taking up the whole screen. Output:https://i.stack.imgur.com/kGTfV.jpg

Am i going about this the wrong way? I thought by setting the sprite(the object rendering the image to the screen) to the size of the screen, the image should take up the whole screen as well.

How are you setting your projection matrix on the sprite batch? It will depend on how you're doing that. — Tenfour04, Jul 07 '14 at 01:43

Something like this should work:

batch.draw(sprite.getTexture() x, y, sprite.getWidth(), sprite.getHeight());

Thx but whats x and y? I ended up not having to use those arguments – committedandroider Jul 07 '14 at 05:48
This will only work if you Sprite is the same dimensions as your camera viewport. – Tenfour04 Jul 07 '14 at 11:38

Set the bound of the image.

        Image backgroundImage = new Image(Assets.loadTexture("wood.jpg"));
        backgroundImage.setBounds(0,0,screenWidth, screenHeight);
        backgroundImage.setOrigin(screenWidth/2,screenHeight/2);

See image is now full screen
